March Speaker Meeting – Steven Arnoczky
This is an interactive event. Bring your vise and tying materials. Foam bodies provided by the speaker.
Steven Arnoczky DVM is a retired professor of veterinary surgery from Michigan State University. He began fly fishing in the Catskill region of New York (Beaverkill, Willowemoc, and Delaware rivers) before moving to Michigan. He has
fished many of the famous Western trout rivers as well as fishing for steelhead in British Columbia, Atlantic salmon in Quebec, bonefish in Belize, and snook and redfish in Florida. From June to September he routinely fishes the Muskegon River and his home waters of the Grand River for his favorite prey, smallmouth bass.
His favorite top water bass fly is the ‘stealth bomber’. The stealth bomber was developed by Georgia fly fishing guide, Kent Edmonds in the early 1990’s . It is an easy fly to tie and does not use any exotic materials. Its unique action and bubble trail is a deadly attractor for bass, pike, bluegill, and most warm water species.
This presentation will go over the materials and basic steps to tie the stealth bomber as well as some modifications I have made to develop the ‘stealth frog.’ I will also discuss my set up to fish these flies as well as showing videos that show the action of the ‘stealth bomber’ flies as well some fish catching action.
*MFFC business meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. EST, learn about upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, hear fishing reports, and general Club information. The speaker will take the floor around 8:00 p.m. EST.*
